What is a .INF file?
.INF is a file in the Config category. Analyser identifies it and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.
- Did you know
- A .inf file is a Windows setup-information file, the plain-text script telling Windows how to install a driver or component.
- Right-clicking an .inf and choosing Install is a classic way to add a hardware driver on Windows.
- The format dates back to early Windows and uses the same section-and-key layout as an .ini file.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify configuration and small text files: TOML, INI, .env, CONF, CFG, Java properties, generic .config, info notes, .lst list/index files, and Windows Setup Information (.inf) driver/install scripts.
- Depth of analysis
- .INF is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .INF file
- Drag a .INF file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
